Chapter Text
TROYE
Troye woke up, sweating, and with a very prominent boner. He looked around confused and noticed Tyler on the floor of his room, wrapped up in a bunch of blankets. Troye had remembered very clearly what had happened that night. After Tyler had kissed him, Troye started crying. All he could make out was Tyler's name. He remembered his green haired friend holding him in his arms until he fell asleep. Usually, Sage was there to hold him.
Troye figured Tyler would want to go back home to his own house so he decided to wake him. He got out of his bed and kneeled down in front of Tyler. He reached out and shook his shoulder, but all that happened was screaming.
"David! David! David!" Tyler was screaming in his sleep. Troye had no idea who David was, and had no idea on how to comfort Tyler. Tyler started sweating profusely now, and was almost vibrating in place. His eyes shot open, fear prominent in them, and tears streaming down his face.
"Tyler? Tyler are you okay?!" He wasn't responding to Troye and his back had arched. "Troye what's going on in here??" Sage burst into his room, her eyes immediately landing on Tyler's state. "Troye what the fuck?" Sage whispered screamed. "I-i don't know. He just he won't answer me or i-" "Shit Troye we have to go. Pick Tyler up now!" Troye was confused at what his sister was saying. "Troye, Tyler is having a seisure! An ambulance won't be here in time so we have to take him to the hospital NOW Troye!"
Tyler was seizing? He was epileptic? Troye was scared shit less at this point. He did what his sister told him to and ran out of his house, trying not to bump Tyler's head into anything.
Troye knew that seizures can be deadly, killing the brain tissue slowly and can cause brain damage. His uncle used to be epileptic, but one day he had a seizure and was put into a coma. He had so many seizures that the doctors pronounced him brain dead, too much tissue had died and he had no more motor skills, no more brain activity.
Once the three had arrived at the hospital, Tyler had stopped seizing, but he was still asleep. Troye picked him up again and ran into the hospital. Once he told the doctors what had happened, Tyler was rushed into a room and Troye and Sage were left to sit in the waiting room.
*****
Six hours had passed, nobody really making any noise.
"Are you Troye Sivan?" A doctor had walked up to Troye and Sage.
"Yes, yeah, yeah, what happened?" Troye wide eyed and wanting to see Tyler. "Tyler wants you to come to his room. He said you were his cousin? Since only family embers are aloud and you're his only family here, he wanted you to be in the room before his doctor tells him some news." News?? What news??? "Can I ask what news? How's Tyler??" The doctor looked at Troye and lowered his head a bit. "Son, just, follow me." And so Troye did. He followed the doctor all the was to room 401 where the label read "Oakley, Tyler". This was it.
TYLER
Troye had walked in, bags underneath his eyes. Damn that boy still looked gorgeous though. Tyler woke up and right away that he was in the hospital. He had always remembered the smell, it was basically implanted into his brain. His dad used to be in the hospital all of the time, and Tyler liked to be with him for support. He was only ten, but his smile always put his dad in a better mood. When the doctor had told him he had news, he wanted Troye. He didn't know how he had gotten to the hospital, but he knew Troye had to be around.
Tyler had thought he was going crazy, it was like he had a Troye Tracker in his brain. He had only known him for 2, going on 3 days, but Tyler was so infatuated with the little Twink that he had like a 6th sense for him. The doctor had left to go see if Troye was actually here, and came back not thag much after with him. Ofcourse when Tyler sent the doctor looking for Troye, he said he was a cousin. Non family member wouldn't be let back into the room.
"Okay Tyler, we have some news for you." Tyler looked at Troye and then back at the doctor. "Hit me with it doc." The doctors eyes looked sullen. "Tyler, while you were asleep, we thought it was best to run some tests. One of them was a head scan, since you did in fact have a seizure."
"Okay okay just get to it" Tyler was getting annoyed from thr doctor beating around the bush.
"Tyler, you have Glioblastoma."
Glioblastoma
"Tyler that's a-"
"Stop. Just stop. I know what that is" Tyler knew all too well what it was. His dad had it.
"How long? Just tell me, okay?" Tyler was crying right now, forgetting all about Troye, his mom back at home. The only thing he could think of was his dad, David.
"14 months, give or take." The doctor said. 14 months. "But what is Glioblastoma? What's 14 months?" Troye spoke out. He looked so confused. Tyler had only know the boy for 36 or so hours. He wasn't sure if they were really even friends.
"It's cancer. I have cancer. I'm going to die soon Troye"
